Dino-Lite AM73915 Series Depth Acquisition, Dino-Lite AM73915 Series Depth Acquisition User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the user manual for the Dino-Lite EdgePLUS AM4917 and Edge 3.0 AM73915 series microscopes. This document focuses on the Depth Acquisition (DPQ) feature, explaining how to use it for measuring depths using focus adjustments. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the DPQ capabilities and the specific microscope models.
  • What is Depth Acquisition (DPQ)?
    What models support DPQ?
    How does DPQ work?
    How to adjust the focus to acquire depths?
    How to exit Refocus mode?

Depth Acquisition (DPQ) with EdgePLUS
AM4917 and Edge 3.0 AM73915 Series
Introduction
With the EdgePLUS AM4917 and Edge 3.0 AM73915 series, Dino-Lite has taken its Depth
Acquisition (DPQ) capability and accuracy to the next level. In contrast to previous models
that obtained depths from EDOF stacked images, the AM4917 and AM73915 series'
delicate focus adjustment acquires more accurate depths from the minute increments of
change in focus.
Requirements
The DPQ functionality applies to Dino-Lite EdgePLUS AM4917MZT, AM4917MZTL, and Edge
3.0 AM73915MZT(R10) and AM73915MZTL(R10A). Also, please make sure to have
DinoCapture 2.0 ver. 1.5.39 or later version installed. If you need to update DinoCapture
2.0, click here and download the latest version.

This cursor [ ] indicates that refocus
mode is active and that the focus can be
readjusted. A positive focus shift refers to a
plane below the reference plane.
How to Acquire Depths
1. Adjust the focus to a plane of
interest. This position will be
considered the reference plane as 0.
2. To acquire depths, readjust the
focus by:
Middle-clicking on a point of interest
to autofocus, if necessary, scroll the
mouse wheel to readjust the focus.
Or.
Press the “Ctrl” key and scroll the
mouse wheel to change focus
manually.
3. To exit Refocus mode, left-click
anywhere on the preview window or
press the “ESC” key.

DPQs Maximum Depth Range and Accuracy
When performing DPQ, its maximum depth range and tolerance are determined by the
magnification being used. This section shows the variations in maximum depths and
tolerance at different magnifications in AM4917 and AM73915 models.
Maximum Depth Range
The maximum measurable depths that the device can perform is referred to as maximum
depth range. Usually, the higher the magnification, the lower the maximum depth range,
and vice versa. The maximum depth range may also vary with depth acquisition direction
(upward or downward).
Tolerance
The tolerance is the allowable variance in DPQs. The higher the magnification, the lower
the tolerance, and vice versa.
